This fhell, which appears to be the Linncean Helix o&;ona, 

 was originally given by Doctor Pulteney in his Doijet 

 Catalogue, but as we fufpe{5lcd the Doctor had been de- 

 ceived, it was not admitted into Tejlacea Britannica, and only 

 noticed under the article Helix oSlanfra&a in comparative 

 defcription with that fpecies. Having however been con- 

 tinued in the Defcriptive Catalogue of Britify Tejlacea, we 

 have been induced to record it, but not with any additional 

 proof of its exiflence in this country. 



That very local fpecies the oSlanJradla of Tejlacea Brilaji^ 

 nica has been difcovered in Dorfetfhire by Mr. Rackett.
